WebSphere Application server and HTTP serer going down frequently

Hi,

I am using Websphere 6.1 with fix pack 27 same is for IBM http server, It is observed that both the servers (WebShere Apps and HTTP) goes down frequently which is impacting end-users to process any request.

You'll need to look in the appserver logs for lickastle2 to see what was
happening there at the same time. This means the HTTP server couldn't
communicate with that appserver instance, but does not necessarily mean
the request failed, it's possible that another instance successfully
processed the request.

If there is firewall between IHS and WAS then check the firewall logs to see
if connections are being dropped.

rc=104 is "connection reset by peer", meaning either the JVM crashed or some intermediate firewall/LB/router closed this connection abruptly. You'll need to corroborate thsi with logs in the AppServer or network ops.
